Today’s coping tip is to tell a loved one about the strengths you see in them.

For one of my kids, I’m letting them know that I see:

• responsibility for meeting their commitments
• independence in making their own decisions
• accountability for their decisions
• strong willed to drive themselves to accomplish more than they have to
• compassion for others

I’m proud of all my kids, and I took time to let one of them know.

I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQL Server Central newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag.
